Hi Gordon

I have been doing research on the Williams family.

My great-grandmother, was Ellen Williams, born at Tidenham in 1859,the daughter of Luke Williams and his wife, Sarah Vaughan.

Ellen had a sister Mary, who I believe was the wife of Nehemiah Moulton. Since Mary was your great aunt, I assume you are descended from one of Ellen's brothers,Thomas(Tom) or Henry (Harry).

Ellen married a schoolteacher called Joseph Lloyd in Bristol in 1881. They settled in Chepstow and had 3 sons and a daughter. In 1889/1890 the family moved to South Africa. Joseph taught at village schools in the Eastern Cape over the next few years and in 1892, they had a fifth child called Mary Latham Vaughan Lloyd. Round about 1896 Ellen and her youngest daughter separated from the rest of the family and I have been unable to find out what happened to her or her daughter Mary, who is referred to as "Polly" by older family members.

Do you know anything about Ellen? Did she perhaps return to England, with or without her daughter and did she possibly go and stay with any of the other members of her family?

I would be grateful for any information you might have about Ellen.
Kind regards
Kay
